Quick Measure Error: "Only Power BI-provided date hierarchies are supported"


I am attempting to create a rolling average quick measure using time intelligence. When I drop my DATE variable into the Date field I get the error message "Only Power BI-provided date hierarchies are supported".

How do I fix this? I've tried to use the solution posted here but it is not working for me. My date column is also formatted as date/time. I appreciate any help.


Solution

  • I was able to resolve this issue.

    The quick measures feature only works on very simple data models ( a single table). Doesn't scale to well.

    The easiest method is to create the moving average measure yourself using DAX. No limitations that way. Quick measure is just a way to generate DAX code through the GUI.
